Just thinking about it too, most shocks are valved to work for a certain weight range. For example the higher your spring rate, the more you need to crank up your rebound damping to achieve the same rebound rate. The same is true of compression. Those damping settings only have a limited range and you’re probably on the edge/outside that range. You would probably benefit massively from a custom shock tune.
